The harmonized index for consumer prices (HICP) for alcohol and tobacco in Portugal has shown an increase, reaching 103.66 points in April 2025, the highest point in the period examined. This upward trend reflects broader changes in Portugal's alcohol consumption patterns and pricing, particularly in the beer and wine sectors. The lowest value was recorded in February 2020, when the figure reached 87.2 index points.

Beer consumption and revenue on the rise

Beer consumption in Portugal has seen a notable uptick, with annual per capita consumption increasing from 48 liters in 2021 to 59 liters in 2024. This growth is mirrored in the excise duty revenue from beer, which jumped from 82.5 million euros in 2021 to 109 million euros in 2023. Super Bock remains the most popular beer brand, consumed by 69 percent of people, followed by Sagres at 42 percent.

Wine production and consumption fluctuations

While beer consumption has risen, wine consumption has experienced some fluctuations. Per capita wine consumption increased from 49 liters in the 2017/2018 harvest season to 55 liters in the 2021/2022, but saw a decrease to 52 liters in the 2023/2024 season. Portugal's wine production remains robust, with Douro, Lisboa, and Alentejo emerging as the major wine-producing regions, collectively producing over 2.7 million hectoliters in the season ending in 2025.
